This dissertation attempts to reconstruct the reception-history of the <italic> Book of the Watchers</italic> by exploring the influence of its account of the fallen angels (esp. 1 Enoch 6–16) on Jewish and Christian literature from the Second Temple period to the early Middle Ages. Towards this goal, I focus on one of the most distinctive features of the <italic>Book of the Watchers'</italic> version of the angelic descent myth, namely, the tradition that the Watchers corrupted humankind before the Flood through their teachings of metalworking, cosmetology, magic, and celestial divination (esp. 1 Enoch 8). Texts analyzed include pre-Rabbinic Jewish literature such as the <italic>Book of Jubilees</italic> and the <italic>Similitudes of Enoch </italic>; the writings of proto-orthodox Christians such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Clement of Alexandria; and post-talmudic Jewish sources such as 3 Enoch and the so-called “Midrash of Shemhazai and Azael” found in <italic>Bereshit Rabbati, Yalqut Shimoni</italic>, and the <italic>Chronicle of Yerahmeel</italic>. In the process, the fate of the <italic> Book of the Watchers</italic> is used to explore broader issues, such as the dynamics of canonization, the role of text-selection in the delineation of community boundaries, the place of exegetical traditions in the interchange between different religious groups, and the continued interaction of Jews and Christians long after their so-called “Parting of the Ways.”
